on the mend?

Dare I say I think my knee is on the mend. I've been on a couple of short walks and survived a couple of long dog shows and ... so far so good. Phew, it's a relief. So, shall I build back up carefully and slowly or jump right in with a 5-miler? Just kidding!

I'm wondering how it will go now after all this time. Will it be like starting over? The helpful callus that formed on the site of my former blister has now disappeared again. *sigh* Someone please tell me this doesn't mean I'm starting from scratch with that blister thing. I will not walk without good socks. I will not walk without good socks. I will not walk without good socks. I will not... you get the idea.

So while Mr J is away for a couple of days and getting the dogs exercised is all down to me, I think I'll take it quite slow and one at a time. I'm pretty sure a large part of my problem was one particular Lapphund's naughty habit of veering off to the side taking my shoulder practically out of it's socket as he went. That could account for a twisted knee, I'm guessing.
